A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée jusqu'en avril 2023 (9 études), cette étude analyse l'intérêt de la technique de relaxation Benson pour soulager les symptômes et améliorer la qualité de vie des patients atteints d'un cancer
The effect of Benson relaxation technique on cancer patients: a systematic review
Nazari, Amir Mohamad ; Zare-Kaseb, Akbar ; Arbabi, Zahra ; Gholampour, Mohammad Hashem ; Emami Zeydi, Amir ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad Javad
Purpose: Although many studies have investigated the effect of this method on cancer patients, no review of the available literature has been done. So, a literature review is conducted to evaluate all published literature on the Benson relaxation technique in cancer patients. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted. A systematic search of online electronic databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus Web of Science, PsycINFO, and EMBASE was performed using keywords extracted from [...]

A partir d'une revue de la littérature (64 études), cette étude fait le point sur les mécanismes biologiques impliqués dans la fatigue après les traitements chez des patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein
Biological mechanisms of cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors after treatment: a scoping review
García-González, David ; Medino-Muñoz, Juan ; Romero-Elías, María ; Garcia-Foncillas, Jesus ; Ruiz-Casado, Ana
Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most common symptom experienced by cancer survivors. It is a multidimensional symptom affecting physical, emotional, and/or cognitive spheres, different from other types of fatigue. Characteristically is not alleviated by sleep or rest. CRF could have specific features in breast cancer survivors (BCS), because of sex, hormones, and distinct treatments. On the other hand, more than 25% of BCS report persistent CRF for 10 years or more after the [...]

Factors Associated with Self-reported COVID-19 Infection and Hospitalization among Patients Seeking Care at a Comprehensive Cancer Center
Amorrortu, Rossybelle P. ; Zhao, Yayi ; Keenan, Robert J. ; Gilbert, Scott M. ; Rollison, Dana E.
COVID-19 infection severity differs by race and ethnicity, but its long-term effect on cancer-related outcomes is unknown. Therefore, information on COVID-19 history is critical to ascertain among new cancer patients in order to advance research on its impact on cancer outcomes and potentially related health disparities.

Association of immune-related adverse events with COVID-19 pneumonia in lung cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors: a cross-sectional study in China
Che, Kaijun ; Hong, Chen ; He, Yanqing ; Peng, Duanyang ; Zeng, Zhimin ; Liu, Anwen
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are commonly used to treat lung cancer patients, but their use can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which pose a challenge for treatment strategies. The impact of irAEs on the incidence of COVID-19 pneumonia in lung cancer patients during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between irAEs and COVID-19 pneumonia in lung cancer patients receiving ICIs. Methods: We conducted a [...]

Christodoulakis, Nicolette ; Abdelkader, Wael ; Lokker, Cynthia ; Cotterchio, Michelle ; Griffith, Lauren E. ; Vanderloo, Leigh M. ; Anderson, Laura N.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated public health mitigation strategies have dramatically changed patterns of daily life activities worldwide, resulting in unintentional consequences on behavioral risk factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, poor nutrition, and physical inactivity. The infodemic of social media data may provide novel opportunities for evaluating changes related to behavioral risk factors during the pandemic. Objective: We explored the feasibility of [...]

Patient experience of telehealth appointments in head and neck cancer services during the COVID-19 pandemic
Ewers, Caroline ; Patterson, Jo ; Watson, Laura-Jayne
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in rapid changes to head and neck cancer (HNC) services. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) face-to-face appointments were converted to telehealth appointments (telephone and video-call) to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The literature exploring HNC patient experience of these appointment types is limited. Aims: To explore patient experience of telehealth appointments at one UK centre during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the variables that may [...]

Ilic, Anica ; Haardoerfer, Regine ; Michel, Gisela ; Escoffery, Cam ; Mertens, Ann C. ; Marchak, Jordan Gilleland
Background: Vaccination against COVID-19 is recommended for childhood cancer survivors (CCS). This study aimed to identify antecedents contributing to caregivers' decisions to vaccinate CCS aged 5–17 years against COVID-19 by applying the Theory of Planned Behavior. Methods: Participants in this cross-sectional study completed an online survey assessing caregiver attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intention to vaccinate CCS, CCS vaccination status, COVID-19 health [...]

Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on lung cancer survival in England: an analysis of the rapid cancer registration dataset
Helen Morgan ; Savannah Gysling ; Neal Navani ; David Baldwin ; Richard Hubbard ; Emma O’Dowd
Early changes in lung cancer care can affect survival. Given the decrease in diagnosis during lockdowns, we calculated their impact on survival using National Lung Cancer Audit data. Percentage survival and HRs for death were compared between 2019 and lockdown periods of 2020. Decreased survival was observed from the first national lockdown onwards and within 90 days of diagnosis. HRs were highest for people diagnosed at the end of 2020 at 1.26 (95% CI 1.20 to 1.32) for death within 90 days and [...]

Ng Hung Shin, Brian ; Tan, Samuel ; Rhee, Handoo ; Chung, Eric
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a major disruption to health services across the world. The aim of this population-based study was to assess the downstream effects of the pandemic on diagnostic tests and treatment activities related to prostate cancer (PC). The Australian Government Department of Health Medicare Benefits Schedule and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme databases were queried from January 2010 to June 2022. Two interrupted time series were performed Pre-COVID (January 2010 to [...]

Jackson, Sarah S ; Pfeiffer, Ruth M ; Hsieh, Mei-Chin ; Li, Jie ; Madeleine, Margaret M ; Pawlish, Karen S ; Zeng, Yun ; Yu, Kelly J ; Engels, Eric A
Background: Males have 2–3-fold greater risk of cancer than females at most shared anatomic sites, possibly reflecting enhanced immune surveillance against cancer in females. We examined whether these sex differences remained among immunocompromised adults. Methods: Using the Transplant Cancer Match (TCM) Study, we estimated the male-to-female incidence rate ratio in TCM (M: F IRRTransplant) for 15 cancer sites diagnosed between 1995–2017 using Poisson regression. M: F IRRs in the general [...]

Access to Care for Adolescent and Young Adults With Cancer in the United States: State of the Literature
Anne C. Kirchhoff ; Austin R. Waters ; Amy Chevrier ; Julie A. Wolfson
Access to care remains a persistent challenge for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer. We review key findings in the science to date. Location of care matters. There is survival benefit for AYAs treated either at a pediatric center or site with special status (eg, Children's Oncology Group, National Cancer Institute [NCI]–designated Comprehensive Cancer Center). Socioeconomic status and insurance require further investigation. Medicaid expansion has had a moderate effect on AYA [...]

Metayer, Catherine ; Morimoto, Libby M. ; Kang, Alice Y. ; Sanchez Alvarez, Jacklyn ; Winestone, Lena E.
Background: Tobacco smoke adversely affects the prognosis of adult cancers including myeloid leukemia, but less is known in children. Methods: We evaluated whether pre- and post-natal exposures to tobacco smoke decrease 5-year survival of 1,235 childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 188 childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases derived from a population-based case-control study in California (United States). Cases were diagnosed between 1995 and 2015 (median follow-up time of 13.2 [...]

Continuous tobacco use in cancer patients is linked to substantial healthcare costs due to increased risks and complications, whereas quitting smoking leads to improved treatment outcomes and cost reductions. Addressing the need for empirical evidence on the economic impact of smoking cessation, this study examined the association between smoking cessation and healthcare cost utilization among a sample of 930 cancer patients treated at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Tobacco [...]
